Introduction This Setup Guide describes how to install and configure your instrument.

This instrument is marked with the international hazard symbol. It is important to read this Setup Guide before installing or commissioning your panel meter as it contains important information relating to safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility EMC.

The instrument provides the following features as standard: • Universal input for mV, mA, volt, thermocouple, RTD and resistance. • 1 configurable alarm with relay output. • 4 digit bright LED display. • Transducer/transmitter supplies. • <110mm behind panel depth (or 100mm without any options fitted). The instrument provides the following features as options: • Isolated 4 - 20mA scaleable retransmission output or isolated 0 – 10V

retransmission output. • Up to 2 additional alarms with relay outputs. • Front panel keypad with function keys.

Installation To install your instrument, you will need to carry out the following steps: • Apply the engineering units label to the right-hand side of the display

panel. A sheet of labels covering the most commonly used engineering units is supplied with all units. If the unit you require is not on the sheet, a blank label is provided on which you can use LETRASET™.

• Install the instrument into a panel. • Make connections to the instrument. PLEASE NOTE: • Ensure that the power to the instrument is switched off before

carrying out any installation or maintenance work. • It is recommended that all connections to the terminals are made using

ferrules to afford greater reliability and to prevent short circuits between adjacent terminals.

• Avoid installing the instrument close to switch gear, contactors or motor starters.

• Do not place signal and power supply wiring in the same loom. • Use screened cables or wires for all signal/sensor leads with screen

earthed at one point only. Panel Mounting The instrument is supplied with an installation kit consisting of a mounting clamp, a panel sealing gasket and terminal connectors. Ensure that there is sufficient space behind the instrument panel - the instrument requires a depth of 100mm (110mm when any options are fitted) plus enough space to allow safe routing of cables. To install the instrument: 1. Make panel cut-out with the dimensions as shown overleaf. Panel

thickness from 1.5mm to 9.5mm can be accommodated.

2. Fit the rubber seal by slipping it over the unit from the rear of the box and pushing it forwards until it sits behind the front lip of the unit.

3. Insert the instrument into the panel from the front, pushing it through as far as the front lip, to ensure correct seating of the rubber seal between the panel and the unit.

4. Working from behind the panel, take the mounting clamp, slide over the rear of the instrument and push forwards.

5. Continue to push the clip forward until the ratchet operates and the clamp is sufficiently compressed to apply adequate pressure on the panel.

Powering the Instrument THERE ARE 2 SUPPLY VARIANTS: a mains supply variant and a low voltage supply variant. The instrument is designed to operate from either an AC supply with voltages in the range 90 to 230V AC 50/60Hz mains supply or from a DC supply with voltages in the range 24 to 32V DC (20 to 30V AC) 50/60Hz low voltage supply with a maximum power consumption of 20VA when all outputs are fully loaded and the display has all segments illuminated.

The diagrams below show how the instrument should be connected to the mains supply. Isolation should be provided by a double pole switch and a time delay 200mA fuse. WARNING - The instrument is designed for installation in an enclosure which provides adequate protection against electric shock. Access to power terminals should be restricted to authorised skilled personnel only. Application of supply voltages higher than those for which the instrument is intended may compromise safety and cause permanent damage.

Recommended Mains Supply Connections

Recommended Low Voltage Supply Connections

BEFORE POWERING UP THE INSTRUMENT, check the model label on the underside of the instrument for the supply variant, eg. MAINS OR LOW VOLTAGE.

Menu Options Input Default: mV Allows the input type and range to be defined. There are 12 ranges for temperature measurement available. When a thermosensor range is selected, ie. J, K, t, r, S, n or RTD, the instrument will automatically set the appropriate scaling in oC.

inPt

Engineering Units Default: Eng Allows the user to define the units of measurement to be displayed in oC, oF and Eng (linear engineering units). unit

Decimal Position Default: 1 Defines the position of the decimal point for the display; 0 or 1 for thermocouples/RTD and 0 to 3 for process inputs. dP

High and Low Display Values Default: Low = 000.0, high = 100.0 The low display value LdSP is used for scaling purposes when combined with the other scaling parameters L-iP, HdSP, and H-iP. These 4 parameters can scale the measured input to any engineering units as long as the relationship between the displayed units is linear. LdSP is used to define the value to be displayed for an input defined by L-iP. HdSP is used to define the value to be displayed for an input defined by H-iP.

HdSP LdSP

High and Low Input Values Correspond to the signal output values from the sensor which will cause the instrument to display the values set as LdSP and HdSP. L-iP and H-iP can be input in mV, V, mA etc.

H-iP L-iP

There are 2 methods of setting the low and high input values, either by manually entering a signal value using the VAL option or by sampling the sensor output using the rEAd option. Values entered manually are entered in the same way as other numeric values (see Editing a Value page 11). The value to be entered will usually be supplied with the data accompanying your sensor. However, if it is not available, the output from the sensor may be rEAd from an external

VAL rEAd


20-5110 Issue E 15

source by the instrument. When performing a rEAd input as part of the scaling process, the sensor must have the corresponding physical value applied. This may be pressure, weight, temperature etc. The instrument will sample the output from the sensor and save this as the L-ip and H-iP scaling parameters. A example of scaling: 0 - 100 mV = 0 -1000 (psi) LdSP = 0 L-iP = 0 (mV) HdSP = 1000 H-ip = 100.0 (mV) Display Filtering Default: 000 This parameter is used to apply a digital filter to the display value. The filter is defined in seconds which approximate to the time constant. This parameter would be used to damp out any effects from noisy signals.

Filt

Mains Frequency Default: 50Hz Set to the mains frequency dependent on the local mains supply. MAin

Alarm Messages Display Default: On Enables display alarm messages when set to on or disables messages when set to oFF. AdSP

Alarm Setpoint 1 Default: 100.0 Defines the alarm setpoint for Alarm 1 in display units. SP-1

As Alarm Setpoint 1 if Alarms 2 and 3 are fitted. SP-2 SP-3 Hysteresis 1 Default: 0.1 Specifies the size of a band around an Alarm Setpoint within which the measured value may fluctuate without the alarm state changing. It is in the same engineering units as the displayed value and the Setpoint.

hY-1

The hysteresis value defines both the on and oFF hysteresis. on hysteresis: For a high alarm it is the value (in engineering units) above the setpoint beyond which the alarm is turned on. For a low alarm, it is the measured value below the setpoint beyond which the alarm is turned on. oFF hysteresis: For a high alarm it is the value (in engineering units) below the setpoint beyond which the alarm is turned off. For a low alarm, it is the measured value above the setpoint beyond which the alarm is turned off. The default hysteresis value for all alarms is 0.1. As Hysteresis 1 if Alarms 2 and 3 are fitted. hY-2 hY-3 Relay 1 Default: True Defines the operation of Relay 1, which can be in either the energised alarm state (truE) or the de-energised alarm state (FLSE). rEL1

As Relay 1 if Alarms 2 and 3 are fitted. rEL2 rEL3 A100 Default: 100.0 Defines the display value which corresponds to 20mA or 10V from the optional analogue retransmission. A100

Configuring User Linearisation from the keypad

The default input type is ULIN To enable user Linearisation the ULIN option must be set in the Input menu.

When input is configured as ULIN the user linearisation options will appear in the menu as shown here.


2 20-5128A

Number of Points

This parameter defines the number of user linearisation points to be used. This may range from 2 to 24. 2 points will define a linear scale. The number of points defined will determine how many display and input settings will be displayed, for example when the points option is set to 15, the highest display and input values accessible will be di15 and iP15. Display Values

to Defines the value to be displayed at the corresponding input for the point. Together di01 and iP01 define point 1 similarly di02 and iP02 define point 2 etc. A display value may be entered as any value within the displayable range as dictated by the decimal point position. Input Values

to Defines the inputs signal level corresponding to the displayed value for the point. Input values are entered directly in mA and represent the output from the Sensor. The input mA value can be entered via the keypad using the VAL option, or the instrument can measure and store the input signal using the read function. When using the read function to configure the input value ensure that the transmitter is correctly connected and set to output the correct signal level. Note: It is not possible to configure the unit with two input points of the same value either from the menus or the communications interface. The main user scaling settings (H-iP, Hdsp, L-iP and Ldsp) will further scale the user linearization input points. This may be used to correct for known transducer characteristics (e.g zero offsets) or correct for a change in Specific Gravity if head pressure is used to measure liquid height/ level. The default global scaling has a gain of 1 with no zero offset.

The (300-Conf) configuration cable connects from your PC’s RS232 serial interface to a jack socket on the rear of the instrument. If your PC is not equipped with a RS232 interface then a USB to RS232 converter cable is required. The configuration software is available free from your distributor or www.datatrackpi.com (downloads section). The configuration cable is not isolated to the input signal

when it is plugged into the instrument. Check that high voltages are not present on the input signal. Care should be taken to ensure the jack plug does not touch any live terminals at the rear of the instrument.
